Routledge - The Rise of Revolution: Internal Displacement Nepal

Explore the complex history of political change and social movement in Nepal with this scholarly work from Routledge. The book examines the period beginning in 1996 when Maoist rebels launched a people's war to replace the monarchy with a socialist republic. This volume provides a detailed look at the social tensions that defined the conflict, specifically the friction between upper caste Hindus and minority ethnic groups or low castes in rural areas. Readers will find a deep analysis of internal displacement within the context of South Asian Guiding Principles. The text documents the progression of the conflict through to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in November 2006. It serves as a vital resource for those studying South Asian history, political science, and the humanitarian impact of civil unrest. By analyzing the roots of the struggle and its resolution, this book offers a clear perspective on the forces that shaped contemporary Nepal.
